The place for all your South Regional goodness.

EVERYONE will pick Siena over Purdue.

EVERYONE will pick Siena over Purdue.

 

And maybe more people than that.

Lol of course Duke is the #1 seed that gets Purdue as their 4 seed.

Duke got the worst 2,3, and 4 seed. Big shocker.

Seriously, they basically gift-wrapped an Elite-8 trip for Duke, and Baylor and Villanova are beatable as well.

The South is gonna get dirty.

I don't understand how Duke and Syracuse both got easier regionals than Kansas and Kentucky.

I've never picked a more chaotic region in my lifetime as this one. This is going to be absolutely nuts.

 

Go Irish!

Duke clearly got the eaisest region 1 through 4. I'm hoping Loiusville can jump up and bite them in the second round though (if they get past Cal). My upset special!!!!!!!!!

 

Go Irish!

 

They can beat ODU and Baylor. Villanova...not so much.

ODU is going to give ND fits. That team is extremely long and fantastic defensively. Gerald Lee is going to make gody's life extremely difficult in the post. ODU beats ND in the first round imo.

I just don't see how Villanova is viewed in a better light than Baylor.

 

Baylor, 25-7, losses Colorado, Alabama, Kansas, KSU X 2, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M. No losses by more than 7 points.

Wins over Xavier, Arizona State, Morgan State, Jackson State, Texas Tech X 2, Oklahoma State, Texas X 3, Mizzou, and Texas A&M.

 

Villanova, 24-7, losses Temple, Georgetown, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, West Virginia, Marquette. 18 point loss, 13 point loss, and 10 point loss.

Wins over Dayton, Mississippi, Maryland, Marquette X 2, Louisville, Georgetown, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Seton Hall, South Florida, Cincinatti

 

 

Baylor, 9 NCAA wins, 3 NIT wins, 7 losses by 39 points total

 

Nova, 7 NCAA wins, 5 NIT wins, 7 losses by 61 points total

 

 

 

Baylor has legit 1-5 starters. Nova's guards won't intimidate Tweety Carter, Lacedarius Dunn, and Quincy Acy, and Baylor clearly has the edge down low with Udoh and Lomers.

 

I don't think people realize just how good Baylor is and just how much talent they have accumulated.

I think that is your reason. Plus, everyone who remotely follows college basketball knows Nova. They know they are very much like the team that went to the Final Four last year and everyone knows Scottie Reynolds. Also, Villanova has no bad losses; you could argue Baylor has a couple.

 

That being said, I have Nova advancing out of that region. I just love their guards and if they are on their game, which they havent been at all times lately, I just dont see them losing until Indianapolis.

Colorado and Alabama aren't good losses, but they are both around .500 teams and those were the first two losses of the season for Baylor.

 

Even comparing Scottie Reynolds and Corey Fischer to Tweety Carter and LaceDarius Dunn is interesting.

 

Nova two: 32.2 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 7.3 apg, 2.8 spg, 4.7 topg

 

Baylor two: 35.1 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 7.9 apg, 2.6 spg, 5.2 topg

 

 

 

Then you throw in Ekpe Udoh for Baylor, the best defensive big man in the nation, and I just don't see Nova's advantage this year.

 

Nova clearly has the tourney experience and coaching advantage it seems, but we will see how far it gets them.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff picked up their first out of conference win in the NCAA tournament. Awesome. I saw them in person this year so I'm on the bandwagon, shock the Dukies! Haha.

No they aren't.

No they aren't.

 

Rely heavily on the play of the three returning guards while playing the same offense and typical three guard lineup? Yeah they are.

 

I don't know why you guys are arguing Baylor-Nova when the Monarchs are going Sweet 16.

Their defense is not remotely close to what it was last year.

Cunningham was definitely a big piece of last year's team.

Upset Alert

Let's do this Monarchs!

harangody's been a waste of space today.
